Recruitment and Retention for 2027

Equaliser said:
Have to let some go. Simple as that. With the 2 new teams coming in, can't afford to have guys like Ray Stone, Naufahu, Pouniu and etc as "depth".

Yeah have to agree. Need to hold the top liners though.

Start leaning on youth network we have, getting those talented youngster on minimum wage coming through, I think we will start seeing that in the coming years.

We are also in a hard position being a new club, the 4th/5th year is always hard, because you've signed a whole squad at the same time, they generally come off contract at the same time. So we have a huge amount of players to look after.

I like the staggered 1 year extension, well before the end of a contract when you know your on a good player. It staggers contract end dates, instead of having 8 or 9 off contract, you might get 3 or 4.

  1. Hammer
  2. Cobbo
  3. Herbie
  4. Averillo
  5. Bostock
  6. Niko
  7. Katoa

    You would have to imagine this is what Woolf thinks is our best backline from round 1 next year.

  8. Molo
  9. JMK
  10. Flegler
  11. Finefui
  12. Lemuelu
  13. Knowles

    starting pack is less important because 4 on the bench will get plenty of game time whether they are starting or not.

  14. Plath
  15. Donoghue
  16. Gilbert
  17. Naufahu / Poniu / Nonu

    Is that bench too light? I don't think so unless they let the game slow down a bit again.

  18. Fineanganofo
  19. Kaufusi
So 2 of Naufahu / Poniu / Nonu will go. Kaufusi will also keep the forwards honest.

That's a pretty f*cking good team! Though Ray Stone might yet be extended.

Plath in the starting lineup for mine.
 
Kaufusi, Gilbert.

Then you have 3 locks which is 1 too many. Even though Knowles has been good recently, that addition is even morr questionable.

There is money there we could free up

Youre only upgrading Flegler.

We are losing Saifiti's full contract. Not sure what he was on. If it was 600k. Youre not giving that full amount to tommy. 100k upgrade leaves 500k to spread around.

No, we need another forward. Still we go through chunks of the game with little go fowards and the back line carries the attack.

I agree. Good player but not the position we needed someone in. But he's signed for this year and another 2.

Well Plath is a must keep.

What do you do with Kurt?

Both are signed long-term. Would be easy to let them go and have another club pick up their contract due to their age and ability but hopefully we could keep both. Plath and Knowles as locks and Kurt as a utility.
